Yipeeee! Oh, Herrad, what a joy it was to read this. I was beginning to think about how another setback would be so devastating for you. This is so great and I am really, really happy for you. Look out Amsterdam -- Herrad is back!!Peace,Muff

Your chair certainly looks like a challenge for lifting. The molded seat doesn't leave much room to slip the sling in and out. Maybe a two step lift? First lift from the shoulders using a strap under the arms -- just high enough to slip the full sling under your bum. Then lower, remove the arm strap, and pull the full sling up behind your back.

If Ton doesn't think there is any danger of a pressure wound forming, get up! You are going to get cuts and scraps. They come with the territory.
